Bots don't run out of ammo

[minor whale]

I just finished a co-op game with the Chieftain CTR. I noticed the bot shot 85 times when there is only 54 rounds on that tank. Is there a reason they don't run out of ammo?

They get Bot 🤖 ammo drops don’t ya know! 😊

Solid detective work my man

Great work. Name 1 game where AI runs out of ammo

[minor whale]

That one.

oh, the list's huge, similar length to the list of Austria-Hungary's military successes

I did a quick search, apparently there are a couple where it's sort-of a thing, at least - https://www.redditmedia.com/r/gamingsuggestions/comments/1g9ideo/shooter_games_where_enemies_dont_have_infinite/?ref=readnext#bottom-comments

"Deus Ex" gets mentioned (candidate for best-ever game), I wasn't sure but did have a vague memory of NPCs running out of bullets then attacking with knives, I also seem to recall that if you stealth-kill you get more of whatever ammunition than if they fire any shots - great for the essential tranquilliser darts.

Hello, it is intended for bots to have unlimited ammo as they are more active with shooting and not as efficient as a human. If only bots were left (such as a Coop battle for example), and they all ran out of ammo, it would not be a very good user experience to watch them sit there until the time ran out.

Also worth nothing, it's only for the main gun. They have the same limited ammo count on secondary weapons such as ATGM's.

Not as efficient as humans? More efficient than half the players on this game

The bots on the enemy team are that efficient, the bots on my side suck and usually half of them are dead before 5 minutes passed. So like regular multiplayer.

I know right and the funny thing is the AI they know exactly your location in Co-op even if you're not spotted cuz I know if I played Co-op World War II mode in the entire enemy team was following me without me being detected at all I'll get spotted I'll run and hide across the map 2 minutes later here comes the entire team crossing the hill after me how did they know I went over there the Bots are actually smarter than the actual player base

[minor whale]

Oh yes, it's stupid.

Max do Bots therefore have unlimited "Gold" rounds? And is there a "trigger action" for Bots to use "Gold" rounds?

[minor whale]

I've seen the Obj 934 in games. It will never use rockets, because it will have endless primary ammo.

As far as I've seen bots don't switch ammo types and only use gold when the copycat tank of a player in coop has an exclusively gold rack
